re: I sent a conservative son to college and got a socialist in return

You probably SHOULD have taught your conservative views to your kids, so they were not as easily brainwashed with stupidity... My kids both went in and came out conservative, and are living successful lives as a result.
It's amazing that people still send their kids to college, if this is what the outcome is... Wasted $'s and very little hope for the future.

I disagree wholeheartedly. I will love and support my kids as long as they are responsible folks. Having different political views is not irresponsible.

IF I believe my views are the best, AND I raise functional adults, they will gravitate towards my beliefs regarding religion, politics, and social issues.

IF I am insecure, I will panic at the first thought of them being exposed to different viewpoints.

Any one that is fighting for one political side over the other needs to take a look around. Both sides spending us to oblivion, the GOP does zero even when they had the numbers, and the left promises bullshite to get votes that is never delivered. They are different sides to the same coin.

So that is not influencing his son?

Whether his son is influenced by it or not is not his concern. Again, you don’t understand the difference between boycotting and cancel culture.

I'm a big believer in behaviorism. Positive and negative reinforcement mold us in many ways. So yes, incentives and influence are very important, especially with very malleable concepts like political beliefs.

A complete word salad, non-answer to the fact that your understanding and application of NPC renders the term useless.

Either he's his son or not. You may want to revise your first response quoted above.

No, I don’t want to. He’s his son. What don’t you understand?

My friend comes to me to invest in his business. I choose to invest because he’s my friend. He starts doing things with the business that I don’t support. I pull my investment out. He’s not my friend anymore, right?

I'll let the dad work out the finer details of his demands.

How convenient. Youre talking about these demands you can’t even demonstrate exist.

I know you don't want to, because you've constructed this argument just to do so, and it falls apart when you remove it.

1. You, the king of “that’s not what this thread is about, start your own thread if you want to talk about that” making this comment is the peak of irony.

2. I dont want to because it’s literally the impetus for you incorrectly using NPC in the first place. I understand why you would want to distract from that.

What is your son's major? If it's a crappy one then hopefully it wakes him up when he's living in a dump his first few years out of college.

She is banging him then.

Kick him out and let him stand on his own.

If he was raised Catholic and comes home talking of how great socialism...he is banging a chick or a dude and espousing their outlook on life.

Let’s see if that holds after he starts working and realizes how much he loses in taxes to fricking freeloaders.

I have long believed that employees should not have taxes withheld by the company.

People would be a lot more pissed off about taxes if they had to write a check weekly to the IRS. People dont ever see the money so it isnt a big deal to them.

Bama is the center of marxist spead in the Southeast USA

and Bama grads are financing antifa and their violence.

Dont get me wrong, most bammers are whitebread hicktrash loving the massive cheating they are getting away with -

BUT

I am telling you the violence and abrasive woke and hostile virulent rhetoric (as their cohorts at Georgia State in Atlanta are as full bore marxist as the Bama grads I am speaking of) in ATL, NASHVILLE, elsewhere around the South is a product of the Capstone

I dont say this as a part of any rivalry - and I have seen a seed or two of these things reported at Auburn, BUT

I have also seen treachery and marxist violence as the outgrowth of UA in the Southeast - and it is virulent and diseased.

Also, for the OP, I wouldn't worry about your kid turning into a hippie. As a dude who was raised in a conservative household then went to college in another city, I remember talking a lot about these ideas when I came home. Not because I believed in them, but I'd never been exposed to those ideas before and wanted to talk about them with my folks and get their take on opposing views. I stopped trying to do that after my dad came to me convinced LSU had turned me into a full liberal.

In my case, I just couldn't get either of my parents to understand that I don't believe in some of the things I was saying; I was just trying to get opposing viewpoints in for a more detailed conversation. Ultimately my parents just got angry when I'd bring up the other side and it would turn into a weird argument where I'm like "Dude I'm playing devil's advocate."

...I'm still a conservative, nothing has changed except now I'm just more conservative; specially in regard to the government policing my everyday life. What any one person does in their own life is their business.

We shouldn't be wasting money trying to placate to some disparaging group. We shouldn't be wasting money trying to ban/keep banned shite like Marijuana when it has no affect on me as a non-user, why are my tax dollars going to pay for some jackass pothead's prison stay? So we can keep drug prices high for the cartels who ultimately profit from all of this?

Anyway, frick a socialist. Rant is ended

Should all bonuses be taxed twice in your opinion or just executive bonuses?

---

Just Executives, CEO, CFO, COO etc. the purpose of doing that would be to incentivize hiring, so it would have no affect on normal employees.

I also don't mean that the executive pays extra taxes, nor am I saying a full percentage of pay. The corporation would just have to consider something like 25% of executive payroll as revenue and pay taxes on it.
